Default Robots race in Chinese half marathon

And Now For Something Completely..... bizarre
BBC video here

...The winner was Tiangong Ultra, which crossed the line in two hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.

Some robots completed the race, while others struggled from the beginning. One robot fell at the starting line and lay flat for several minutes before getting up and taking off...

No - they couldn't do the pictures of boats or not boats. It's sad when WE have to prove we're not robots or computers.
